Vanilla is the only orchid in the world that produces an edible fruit! For the Totonaca, vanilla was a sacred herb that they incorporated into all levels of their lives. Vanilla has been used as a ‘medicine' for hundreds of years and its popularity is growing as more evidence becomes available about its power to heal and soothe.ALL vanilla beans are cured using a natural fermentation process. Vanilla keeps indefinitely and actually gets better with age a lot like wine, and it does not require refrigeration!
